I like to say my college
Is living in this town
Some days what seems hardest
Is simply sticking around
With so much to see
Places that I've yet to be

And I like to say my colleague
Is the mother at the store
The man who serves me coffee
And john who lives next door
We all study life
Learning how to make things right

We wanna change the world
We wanna make you proud
But lately I've come to learn
That it might start here and now
Cause sometimes I look too hard at the big things
When the best thing I can do is love you

Josue tells me stories about his home down south
His mother can't cross the border
But he's trying to get her out
He names a price
And turns so I won't see him cry

People make me hungry
But people keep me sane
Josue taught me more than a professor could explain
About working hard
And using what I have to do my part

Cause I wanna change the world
I wanna make you proud
But lately I've come to learn
That it might start here and now
Cause sometimes I look to hard at the big things
When the best thing I can do is love you

But how do I get to love'
I'll start unselfishly
Can I hold out my hands
Do they even belong to me'
How do I get to love'
I guess it starts inside of me

Cause sometimes I look too hard at the big things
When the best thing I can do is love you
